BEAR that stands for Battlefield Extraction-Assist Robot is a military robot under
the development of Vecna
Technologies that will be used for taking out wounded
soldiers from the battlefield with no risk to human life. The humanoid robot uses a
powerful hydraulics system
to carry humans and other heavy objects over long distances and rough terrain
such as stairs. The robot's cameras and microphone allow an operator to
remotely control the BEAR. Daniel Theobald invented the robot in 2005. The BEAR is currently
still being developed and tested for applications on and off of the battlefield.
It is a six feet tall humanoid robot with
advanced technology and features that makes it effective and intelligent.
It is remotely controlled, has several sensors, and contains a hydraulic actuator.
The initial versions of the
BEAR were remotely controlled by a human operator who was able to see and hear
through the robot's sensors. Developments to the BEAR's AI have given the robot the ability to
process commands given by an operator such as "go to this
location" or "pick up that box." If the robot is unable to execute the operator's
command, it is programmed to ask the operator for assistance to complete a task.
The
robot may also be remotely controlled by a soldier through a device known as
the iGlove. The motion-capture glove developed by AnthroTronix allows the
soldier to make a simple hand gesture to command the BEAR. Another remote
control for the BEAR is called the Mounted Force Controller. It's a specialized
rifle grip mounted on an M-4 carbine so
soldiers can continue to command the BEAR without putting down their weapon.
